At last it is done ..... well skirt applique anyway

After some 575 hours, the applique on the skirt is done! Well all the major bits anyway, moving on to the little loops now, which will probably take a fair while as well.

But this is such a huge milestone for me on this dress, I just had to see what it looked like, so a few pins later and 'ta da'....love to know what you think....

    It's hard to believe that it it could get any better but I know that the details you are about to add are going to take it to a place where there may not be words....

  2. Thank you :)
    I have been working on the dress for so long it sometimes looks a bit bland to me, and it's the warm and generous comments like yours that gives me the ongoing inspiration and motivation to keep plugging away at it.

    By the way, I love your saying, "Life is too short for normal clothes," I have to try saying that to someone who asks me why I'm dressed up in public... ;)
